Can not find a way to add Classic Oblivion to my Vortex Mod Manager

After having some major dramas with the Kvatch Rebuilt mod, I did a hard wipe of all Oblivion files on my PC, everything gone so I can have a clean slate.

I had Oblivion in my Vortex pre-remaster and before the latest vortex update, I can not for the life of me find a way to add it again. The only clue is the 'Legacy' guide, but that required coding (I have no experience or knowledge on how) and doesn't seem applicable to this situation.

I can add Oblivion as a tool, but that doesn't add it to the Mod Manager and also failed to run the game also. I have downloaded the Unofficial Patch and OBSE but can not see where they are or how to access them.

I have googled this issue and can't find any answer that isn't either related to the Remaster or applicable to this current version of Vortex (which I hate, I shouldn't have updated)

I just want to get the game working with my Basic list of mods installed, nothing fancy.

I also do not have and I do not want the Remaster.

Help Modding on Linux

I am trying to mod Oblivion on Linux, I have the Game of the Year Edition (2009) not the remake. I have tried the mod organizer install which worked for Skyrim the game instantly crashes when launched through it rather its with the Oblivion exe or the launcher.

The game launches normally through steam but when I try to launch OBSE through steam it pops up a message that steam users should launch the normal game through steam and if OBSE doesn't run to enable steam community.

At this point I just want to be able to mod oblivion, I don't even plan to use too many mods, just UI and some game-play improvements. If anyone knows of a better method to mod Oblivion that I may be missing then please let me know.

If distro matters at all then I am on Debian.

How do I start modding?

I'm playing original Oblivion on PC through the Epic games launcher (I don't know if that's important) but I've really been loving modding Skyrim on my ps4 so I assume it's even better modding on a PC game that's already pretty simple to run like oblivion so how do I get started and what sites do I use? Are there any YouTube videos or something y'all could recommend?

First time looking at and joining this subreddit so I don't know much.

So how hard is it to mod the Remaster?

Seeing videos on youtube saying the remaster in general is dead or bad but I don't hear much about modding. I know there's something about UE5 that causes difficulty somehow but what problems are there compared to modding the original Oblivion? Can questlines be modded in or is that impossible? Looking at Nexus it seems like new mods are being made that's not what I mean just that I keep hearing it's harder to do.

Need some Suggestions for Economy adjustments

I've been casually brainstorming on this for a couple of months, but I'm not really getting anywhere.

A major "problem" for me in Oblivion is you very quickly accumulate a crap ton of gold and have absolutely nothing to spend it on, making money feel worthless.

I want to create either a mod or an overhaul that "fixes" this. Either by making gold more valuable, more scarce, more difficult to accumulate, or introducing a new system or overhauling existing systems so the player always has an active gold sink, or a reason to think "I need more gold, I need to do a quest that gives gold, I need to get more loot to sell", etc.

I'm really at a loss, but I'd love to see if anyone has any ideas.

Oblivion mods in Skyblivion

Before, I thought that Skyblivion was a fan remaster of Oblivion, but from what I saw in a video, it is actually a reconstruction of the world of Oblivion in Skyrim. Does this mean that Oblivion mods will not be compatible with Skyblivion? Can someone who follows the project provide information? If that is the case, then will Skyrim mods be usable in Skyblivion?

Wyre Bash listing my masters as red?

I'm not entirely familiar with Wyre Bash or how to use it, but I noticed that all my master files (the base game ones) are listed as red, which, from what I understand, indicates that they themselves are missing master files. This shouldn't be possible. I tried loading my save earlier and it told me that "none of the master files are loaded," I'm wondering if there's a step I'm missing.
